These will travel via their normal route along Grenfell/Currie streets and then via Morphett Street and North Terrace, stopping opposite the hospital at bus stop Y1 North Terrace. Services from the city will commence from stop Y1 North Terrace and travel via West Terrace, Currie Street and then via normal routeNew bus stops will be installed on Currie Street and North Terrace to service the hospitalUpdated bus timetables are being finalised and will be available soon

These names sound as though they date from the days when there were two digits and a letter for each bus route (such as the 155 being a 15E (hypothetically). I can't believe that they haven't been updated.

However, they're probably easier to recognise than what a 3 digit number would be (say 983 (a 98C for example)). I guess there's no real need to fix what isn't broken after all.

C stands for clockwise, A stands for anticlockwise. So labelling it the 97A at least conveys the information that it's anticlockwise (not that there's a clockwise version of the 97 by the sounds of it, but at least it's consistent with 98A, 98B, 99A, 99C).

And no the B10C doesn't run clockwise, that C stands for City terminating. LOL.

And when the C is a prefix, e.g. C1/C2...

For those new at the game this was a variation of the J1/J2 but terminates in the city, and with no connections or other similarities to the J1/J2 any more there really is no reason why the C1/C2 "numbering" should remain.

Then there are also the 100C, 167C, 200C, 300C, 750C, 751C and 865C. These 'C' suffixes don't mean clockwise or 'terminates city'!

$2,500 fines for vehicles illegally using red Bus Only lanes - could cut the state's debt real quickly if they extended that to regular Bus Lanes!

New C1, C2, 861 and 864 timetables were released as well with above mentioned ones together this noon, but now disappear.Luckily I downloaded all of them C1, C2 and 864 series would be extended to new RAH as well as N864 but not N1

New terminus for the 864 - stop B2 West Tce. Must be a new stop. It's odd that the 864 is extended but not the 863 which is essentially a short-working. Higher frequency to the RAH during interpeak than peak with all the various Hills routes that operate peak times!It looks like stop Y1 North Tce is further east than it was before for route C1/C2.

With all services on the C1-C2 services to/from stop Y1 (excluding a few C1T's in the weekday evening peak from Hindmarsh Square) there is will be a good service to/from Currie and Grenfell Streets,and as I have said previously much quieter Clarendon Street terminus for O-Bahn buses.
